At the 20 to 32 year mark you are still cross generational lines GenX/Millennium Generation. Your better bet is the 20 to 27 year age range. Unconditional love and compassion were not exactly the points of the founding fathers, but the people's happiness and welfare was. However, having pointed all that out to you. I think we are going to see WW III before your generation has time to come to power, unless of course you decided to mobilize your generation NOW, and start filling the local political slots. You would be surprised how much you can get done that that level. Also, please do not write off the 40+ folks still hanging out here. Many of us are not thrilled with what we see going on either.

"...the way our forefathers intended?" Do you mean as slave owners?
From the Salem witch trials to same-sex marriage, truth, justice, peace, unconditional love and compassion have never been the the intent of this country.
Maybe a better question would be: "What can WE do to make the world that way John Lennon imagined; "All the people living life in peace". But then, maybe he was just a dreamer?

Which forefathers are you talking about? I like to think myself of Lincoln as a forefather of the modern United States. He refused to blame anyone for the Civil War. He did not call the southerner evil or bad. In fact, he honored them as part of the great American experiment of freedom for the people.
When the Civil War came to an end, he and Congress formally ended slavery, and formally ended the idea that States had rights over the Federal Government. Lincoln's actions along with 600,000. + American lives changed America to One Nation, not 13 or 50 Nations.
I suggest when you hear political types talking about Forefathers, you find out who they are talking about and then discover that other forefathers disagreed with them.
The United States Constitution is a Grand compromise between different competing groups of Forefathers. For everyone you are talking about, there is one or fourteen that disagree, but they did agree to compromise.
While you are thinking about that, call the White and let Mr. Bush know that the essence of our Constitution is to Compromise.

My life is flashing before my eyes. Like every 20-32 before you, we had the answer. Your fore fathers never expected peace & unconditional love. They fought the Revoluntary War to attain what they thought was best. They used every sneaky lie to win, they fought with all their might. Read your history like those over 32 yrs old have & realize there will never be unconditional love other than from your parents & grandparents. Even your siblings expect something for your love. It is time to start growing up & realize "anything worth having is worth fighting for".

Time and culture move forward, you can't go back. Life is much different now. Even if you could go back, would you really want to? Although the ideals of our forefathers are laudable, they lived in an era where only white land-owners had voting rights and women were pretty much excluded from most jobs. It wasn't all as rosy as we want to believe.

The "take back our country" notion expresses a "us versus them". Such mentality leads to more division and we all know who benefits from that. I guess, less political apathy is the way to start. Revisit history, analise it in order to avoid past mistakes, and stop voting for our pockets. And most importantly, at election time, do the country a favor by investigating the candidates as much as possible in order to know who they are before giving them sacred responsibilities

Be honest, accept responsibility for your actions rather than finding fault in and blaming others. Work hard for what you want, gain it while creating an honorable past. Be kind, give to others of your time and finances. Accept the majority, don't demand that they sacrifice in order to create equality in ideals with the minority. Accept minority groups. Just live your life honorably and with respect. That should do it.

Our u . s . grew to develop into tremendous as a results of immigrants. Bringing with them their concepts, their understanding, and the perception that united states changed into extra proper than any u . s . obtainable. It changed into only at present that united states began turning its backs on the immigrants. The legalization procedure changed into an trouble-free one, undemanding sufficient that a foreigner ought to do. Nowdays, there are one of those large volume of regulations, loopholes, and techniques our authorities deny citizenship that many immigrants do no longer have the alternative yet to proceed to be illegeal. actuality is, maximum immigrants are demanding operating, effective individuals of their communities. They contribute to the final economic equipment of their cities through intake and sales tax. that is because of their illegeal status that they ought to settle for below minimum wages and are unable to document income tax.

Learn some history before we do anything else - and not the "history" they teach in schools that has been revised to fit the historian's agenda, but rather the original writings of the FF themselves.
